Back To My Own Name

Started running like a race I never choseWore ten facesChanged my voice to fit their toneLost my traces

Double-booked my heart to please the roomSaid "I'm fine"Shrank myself to fit their tiny viewCrossed my own line

But my heartbeat's getting louder in my chestLittle drum roll saying"GirlYou're blessed"All the white noise fading from my headYeahI hear it now

I'm back to my own nameWon't answer to their versionsTurned up my inner flameBurned off their cheap conversionsI'm done with playing smallI'm walking through my wallI'm backI'm backBack to my own name

Used to chase their nods like oxygenHeld my breathBlamed the mirror when the script went wrongScared of my depth

But my pulse keeps pointing like a guideLittle compass spinning to my sideAll the second guesses step asideYeahI feel it now

I'm back to my own nameWon't answer to their versionsTurned up my inner flameBurned off their cheap conversionsI'm done with playing smallI'm walking through my wallI'm backI'm backBack to my own name

I'm not your labelNot your boxNot your silenceNot your propEvery "too much" that they threwTurns to glitter when I moveSay it onceSay it loudSay it twiceSay it proudThis is meThis is mineWatch me underline

I'm back to my own nameWon't answer to their versionsTurned up my inner flameBurned off their cheap conversionsI'm done with playing smallI'm walking through my wallI'm backI'm backBack to my own name

Back to my own nameMy own nameBack to my own nameFade the noiseKeep the flameBack to my own name
